Great view of Innsbruck and the Stubai Alps

Very beautiful reflections in the water, but definitely plan for the midday sun, as the optimal photo won't look quite as good then ☺️

The lake isn't (!) ideal for swimming, even after a strenuous climb – pack plenty of drinking water! The lake has little to no natural inflow and is therefore very dirty. However, in calm conditions, it offers beautiful photo opportunities, for example, of the reflection of the Kalkkögel in the afternoon/evening sun.

A truly unique view of Innsbruck, the Inn Valley, the Zugspitze and Norkette ranges, the Patscherkofel, and more. It's especially lovely to share the meadow with cows and horses! Even after a strenuous climb, the lake isn't (!) ideal for swimming – pack plenty of drinking water! The lake has little or no natural inflow and is therefore very dirty.

On the southern shore of the lake stands the land art structure Apollontempel am Hundstalsee, built between 1986 and 2006.

Magnificent mountain with a great view in the west of Innsbruck. Quite a lonely approach from St. Quirin. Completely overcrowded from the cable car (up to the Rangger Köpfl). The north ridge is steep, a bit exposed. Beautiful views down to the Inzinger Alm. At the very top there is a shady gully with a wire rope and then 1.5 m of climbing. The east ridge is walking terrain, not marked but easy to find. Normal route along many marble structures.
